Feature: What to do if harassed for wearing your pro-life t-shirt

If you are a student at a public school, you have a right to wear a pro-life shirt to school, hand out literature before and after school and classes (not during) and state your opinion when appropriate.  Our experience is that most young people who wear a pro-life shirt to school during National Pro-life T-shirt Week do not have any problems.

Occasionally a misguided school official may ask you to remove the shirt, turn it inside out, go home and change, put a shirt or sweater over the top of it, etc., etc. This may be a violation of your Constitutionally protected free-speech rights.

Erik, Jeff and Kortney discuss your rights and what to do if harassed by a public school administrator for wearing your pro-life t-shirt.

Feature: Conceived In Rape, Alive To Share Her Story 

We've all heard someone say: "I'm pro-life, well, except in cases of rape . . ." or "I'm pro-choice, especially in cases of rape!"  Have you ever considered how really insulting it is to say to someone, "I think your  mother should have been able to abort you"?  It's like saying, "If I had my way, you'd be dead right now."  And that is the reality with which Rebecca Kiessling lives every time someone says they are pro-life "except in cases of rape" because she absolutely would have been aborted if it had been legal in Michigan when she was a preborn child. Rebecca is a product of rape, an International Pro-Life Speaker and an Attorney, and she’s in the studio to share her story.

Featured Artist: X-Sinner   

 

The First CD to come from X-Sinner in 1989, was called "Get It" and was released on super label A&M Records, but distributed through Word in the Christian Markets.  It had 3 Christian Chart Toppers at number 1, and 5 singles in the top ten....it was also nominated for a Dove Award at GMA.

2006 was a release of pre-production tracks from their earlier recordings and finally in 2008 the band announced a greatest hits called Loud and Proud 2.0 but it wasn't until recently that we saw a new album from X-Sinner.  It has been selling very well and the band has been constantly playing shows and festivals like Cornerstone and festivals in Sweden and Germany. Find out more about Rex Scott's project "X-Sinner" and their new CD "World Covered in Blood" online at www.myspace.com/xsinnernews.

Feature: Pro-Life Christmas Shopping - What to Avoid this Christmas Shopping Season

The Christmas shopping season is a time most Americans spend a significant amount of money on gifts as well as travel expenses to see family and friends.  Why spend money on gifts and other items whose parent companies then use those profits to donate financially to Planned Parenthood, America's largest abortion chain?

On this episode host Erik Whittington, cohosts Jeff McLain and Kortney Blythe discuss some of these companies and the importance of shopping elsewhere.

Big thanks to Life Decisions International who investigates these companies and supplies you with this list in exchange for a small donation.

Featured artist: Showbread

Lead Singer, Jensen, talks about his latest CD as simply - “It’s the best definition of Showbread”. Since Showbread has erupted a few years ago, no one has simply been able to define their sound of music, energy and style. Showbread began describing themselves as “Raw Rock” since early in their career. When the first dissonant chord of the opening track “I’m Lost” rings out, it’s easy to assume Jensen is telling the truth, this is pure Raw Rock. The tracks are very honest, danceable and sassy. We have been around Showbread for sometime, since they played our Cornerstone Stage in 2004 at Cornerstone wearing their red pants and black shirts. This latest CD has shown great maturity in the band but doesn’t let the fans down, the CD is available just about anywhere from your local Christian Bookstore to the Hot Topic at the Mall, but we give you the chance to hear it first on this weeks episode of the Rock for Life Netcast.

"We are in grave danger any time health care decisions are taken out of the hands of individual patients and their families and placed into the hands of government bureaucrats whose decisions are based on cutting costs rather than valuing the dignity and equal worth of every human life."

Choice Cuts

"While the anti-choice movement is motivated primarily by a desire to control sex and stomp out women’s liberation, they realize that this position isn’t going to fly over well with a public that enjoys sex and households that rely on female income. That’s why they came up with The Almighty Fetus as a way to spin it."
-Amanda Marcotte, RH Reality Check "Birthers and Anti-Choicers: One and the same"

"...I don't think there is any one right age, right time, or right kind of relationship for everyone when it comes to what makes sex right or best. That varies from person-to-person a lot, and isn't usually based on something as simple as only how old we are."
-RH Reality Check, Heather Corinna, Scarleteen

"When I counseled a Hindu woman who...wanted the abortion because...the fetus...was female...my feminism and pro-choice philosophies collided violently... But...ultimately, women do and should have the right to make what may be to others the wrong choice."
-"Selecting the Same Sex," Merle Hoffman, On the Issues Magazine

“Just because something is legal -- and should be legal -- does not mean it is always ethical."
-Frances Kissling (formerly of Catholics for Choice)

"The key thing is we don't want abortion to enter this debate and sabotage health care reform. Neither side should try to win political gains on abortion during the health care debate."

"The last time I can remember a romantic comedy with a real, relatable, capable-of-growth, possessing-an-inner-life heroine (albeit a quirky, eccentric one) was Juno. And that was wrapped in a creepily-anti choice, pro-female self-sacrifice plot structure which made the film a mixed bag for feminists. It was almost as if a three-dimensional female protagonist was only allowed through the gates of existence by doing penance--fulfilling the conservative fantasy of the willing baby-giving-up teen mom--within her film's storyline."
-Sarah Seltzer, RH Reality Check, "Indie Movies Can Be Sexist, Too"

"The United Nations recently reported that the world population will double in the next 40 years if growth rates go unchecked. India...was specifically mentioned...[and] came up with a solution: To bring electricity to rural villages so people can watch television at night instead of having sex. According to...India's Health and Family Welfare Minister:'When there is no electricity there is nothing else to do but produce babies...I am serious. TV will have a great impact. It's a great medium to tackle the problem ... 80 percent of population growth can be reduced through TV.'"

"So join the rest of America in this exciting new trend. Save money, stay in, have sex—just don’t make a baby."
-Sex and the Recession, By Elisabeth Garber-Paul, RH Reality Check

"Will we fight for a world where men like [Tiller] are cherished and protected?"
-Sunsara Taylor, at Tiller Vigil

"Partner violence doesn't show up in police photos as swollen bruises. Instead, the evidence might be their swollen, pregnant bellies...Contraceptive sabotage [is] a common, and devastating, facet of dating and domestic abuse...[studies found that] partners were 'actively trying to get them pregnant by manipulating condom use, sabotaging birth control,' or simply sweet-talking them about 'making beautiful babies' together.
